Abstract: A projection display which is light in
weight, small in size and can be put into
practical use and in which light emitting
devices having organic EL elements are
employed. Particularly, the deterioration of the
light emitting performance which is caused by
heat is suppressed, the operation life is
prolonged, the luminance is stabilized, and the
highest luminance is constantly maintained.
The projection display comprises crystal panels
(12R - 12B), light emitting devices (13R - 13B)
which are provided behind the liquid crystal
panels and have organic EL elements as light
emitting layers and cooling elements (14R -
14B) which are provided behind the light
emitting devices to dissipate the heat generated
by the light emitting layers. The cooling
elements (14R - 14B) are, for instance,
electronic cooling devices utilizing the Peltier
effect by which the generated heat is absorbed
and dissipated. Alternatively, the cooling
elements may be heat dissipating fins by which
the generated heat is guided and dissipated.

Abstract: Metal oxide is directly reduced by progressively deeper mixing of a coal layer, a metal oxide/coal mixture layer and an overlying preheated metal oxide layer on a rotary hearth to cause progressive homogenization and reduction of the charge. A metal oxide direct reduction process comprises (a) applying a preferably high volatile matter content coal layer onto the hearth of a rotary hearth furnace; (b) covering the layer with a slightly preheated metal oxide/coal mixture layer and an overlying metal oxide layer preheated to 800 degrees C for immediate start of metal oxide reduction by forced passage of released volatile components (especially hydrogen); and (c) mixing the layers at progressively deeper levels while the hearth rotates to cause homogenization and progressive reduction of the charge. Independent claims are also included for the following: (i) an installation comprising a rotary hearth furnace which includes equipment for progressively mixing overlying layers, the equipment being in the form of tines of rakes which penetrate the layers in a first fixed rake furnace zone and which are arranged radially in the furnace such that successive tines are disposed at progressively increasing depths as the material advances by hearth rotation; and (ii) metal sponge produced by the above process and/or in the above installation, the metal sponge having a better reduction uniformity than that produced by prior art processes and being produced in a short reduction time.
